    What's the Worst Farkle you've ever bought?

    It has got to be the Bugeye helmet mounted mirrors. They make you dizzy trying to see what is behind you, and by the time you focus on an object to the rear, your head moves and you lose it, or you run off the road by focusing on the stupid mirrors. Oh, and did I say they look STUPID! Good...

    A recent article on Dan Gurney in a cycle rag had a few words of wisdom...."Don't get involved" (with cagers). keep safe!

    Help with Grip Puppies

    You can also roll it on (like a "safe sex device"). It works for me!

    What bike complements an FJR the most?

    Owned a drz400s...just not big enough for extended freeway use - and the battery kept losing charge (but great over speed bumps and in the dirt it had a "magic carpet ride"). Replaced it with the wee strom (650). Just enough to blast around and not get into too much trouble. Actually, the strom...

    CalSci Tall Windscreen

    ...been using the cee baily monsterflow eurocut, was very good at keeping the wind off my shoulders and was perfect at lowest setting (for a breeze on the helmet and body protection) but at the high setting, it is perfectly still,but it feels like a bloody spinaker, and gives lots of...

    Garmin Quest questions

    Hi all, well I started this thread, but finished the install via emails to etz. I ended up using the ball ram mount ( around $35 @ gps city)to the extra left side mirror hole - used the car adaptor (cig lighter) to the ram mount via a torx screw driver ($3.50) - got a two prong cig female...

    Headlight Modulator Negative?

    The Kisan works great... around town, folks do a double take, but sure notice you. When I first saw one, I thought it was an EM Vehicle, then I thought it was a malfunction, but it sure got my attention. Now on the road +1 on the "Moses" effect. fz1 mirror and blasters add to the safety factor...

    Scooter Help

    I have a Burgman 650 I take the kids and wife on. It has a lot more power than the 400's and is a real quality machine worth $1,500 more IIMHO. The new one offers ABS, which is even better. If she outgrows it, she can sell it for close to purchase price. Thumbs up (bought 1/04 - no probs).

    Bolt size for unused left mirror hole

    Great information, the link to RAM was what I was thinking. Thanks for the bolt size, but the picture looks like the VStrom part. If you have the mount picture, please send it. As far as power requirements, most recent rides are within the battery charge range of 15-20 hrs. I will look at the...

    Bolt size for unused left mirror hole

    First, what is the bolt size, and does RAM make a direct screw in 1" ball unit that fits the hole? (for Quest mount). Also, does the included Quest cig lighter 12v adaptor fit with the RAM non powered cradle? Thanks Mark

    Garmin Quest questions

    Thanks for the input so far.... Is the "powered cradle" the same as the Garmin Motorcycle Mounting Kit? Also, how does the audio work on the Motorcycle Kit? Finally, is the 276C worth $200 more in your opinions? Thanks, Mark

    *NEW* SuperBrace - Group Buy

    I bought the original SB for my '05 ABS about 13 months ago. After cranking the front forks to stiff, I have not bottomed them out to date, so I have just left them on. I was not impressed with the first redo, but with the gullwing version I am ready to jump in (especially with the group buy)...

    SuperBrace ABS Exhange - old for new

    Jeramie seemed to indicate that the second generation (cut-out) version batch may be gone. When they replaced the original with the cut-out, I think they paid for the shipping (but you had to pay to return your original to them). My main question is: do I really need to return mine since I...

    SuperBrace ABS Exhange - old for new

    I just spoke with Chris at Superbrace... They will take the original and exchange for the new "wing" style brace for an extra $42 plus $10 shipping. The original SB fork protectors will work with the new brace. I have yet to bottom out the original after cranking the preload. What do you all...
